Two mums cannot name their son. Please help!

[Scarlett555]

Surname and middle name are both one syllable so we want at least a two syllable name (middle name will be John).

Names I love that have been vetoed:

Raphael / Rafael nn Rafi (my absolute favorite but DW thinks it’s pretentious)

Jago (too ‘nicknamey’)

Rohan (Too ‘wet’)

Milo (Nestle milk)

Oscar (she had a fish called Oscar)

Tobias nn Toby (just doesn’t like it)

Names she likes that I don’t:

Rhodri
Ezra
Jonah
Sebastian

We can’t use a name beginning with El as it would be too matchy matchy with our DD which is a shame as we both like Elijah, Elliot and Ellis

Other names we both like but can’t use as they already belong to close friends or cousins are Arlo, Issac, Theo and Reuben

There is one name neither of us dislike (Jacob) but neither of us love it either. Please wise Mumsnetters there must be a name we haven't thought of yet??!

Dominic
Magnus

I've known a lowen and a roscoe, from school 30 years ago- so not too out there!

Jago for me.

Jago John is cool.

Either way he may get called JJ or LJ. I've noticed with J middle names this happens.
My ds gets called TJ. Not by me but I don't don't mind it.

What about:

Indio
Griffin
Traven

Griff is cool. Good suggestion

I still like Jago John best

Definitely Jago rather than Lowan. I think Jago is a really good name.

@skyejuly, ah, thanks. Yes, it's my favourite name too. Luckily DD likes it as that's always a concern. I call her my Demon of the Night. It definitely suits her
Sorry for derail, Op

Jago John is fabulous!
I prefer it to Lowen. Which autocorrects to Listen.

What about:

Christian
Samuel
Rupert
Theodore
Hugo
Rafferty
Aubrey

Oh I feel privileged that you liked the name I gave you.

I love the name Lowen, but I had a girl so couldn't use it.

Jago is also lovely xx

Christian

Jago John actually does sound quite cool I like it

Jasper
Felix
Silas
Jude
August
Asher
Arthur
Hugo
Micah
Simon
Gideon
Emmett
Luca
Malachi
Ezekiel
Otis
Judah
Sawyer
Thaddeus
Jonas
Tristan
Beckett
Ronan
Declan
Zachary
Graham
Jeremiah
Rhys
Alistair
Dashiell
Atlas
Callum
Solomon
Auden

Gabriel, Michael, Sebastian, Alexander, Louis, Henry, William, Liam, Joseph, Felix, Albert nn Bert, Richard, Philip nn Pip, Oscar, Ethan, Oliver nn Ollie, Edward, Aurelius, Levi, Nathan

I think a traditional, longer first name balances out the short middle name, John.

Alexander
Gideon
Gilbert (I love Gil)

What about Rafferty (Raff) rather than Rafael.

Modern and maybe not so “pretentious”..?!
